So where are you at re your header back? After fitting my Tomei UEL I'm back to the OEM AB. Nice and quiet but on hearing super quiet note I get a "Why'd I bother spending $1500+ on headers, OP, coating and assorted bits for a car that sounds 95% stock!".

I know you were after the STI AB but if you've gone off that idea and have a guy who can build a cat back, as you mentioned, to specs he may do two at a reduced rate..

Would the STI design be that difficult to replicate?

Two x 400mm x 90mm round resonators mounted east/west side by side > 2 pipes to current cutouts. 1.5 mtrs of 2.5" or 3" stainless + 2 x 90mm polished tailpipes. And a mandrel pipe bender of course.

I have the Nameless off the car he can use for measurements and alignment.
